The Ville-Marie ski, a shorter version of the Mont-Royal, stands out for its stiffness, responsiveness, and ability to perform in a range of snow conditions, offering an exceptional skiing experience. Looking for an all-mountain ski? Look no further!

The Ville-Marie features an integrated titanium plate, providing excellent longitudinal and, above all, torsional rigidity. This means it maintains stability in a straight line, ensuring a smooth ride on the slopes. This ski is reinforced with hard glass in the tip and tail, improving rebound out of turns. This allows the ski to react more precisely to turns, offering better maneuverability.

The Ville-Marie is designed to generate bursts of energy at the end of each turn. It will propel you with power and dynamism during changes of direction, making it a highly responsive ski. It excels in various snow conditions. It maintains excellent grip on a variety of ski terrain, from powder to groomed snow and hardpack.

Its compact size (158cm and 166cm) makes it ideal for petite women or those seeking a shorter, lighter ski (1.35kg per ski) that can take them on any adventure.

      What people say about our skis

      The Hog's back is my favorite ski!
      It offers a nice wide platform to float well in the powder.
      The wide front tips keep the ski out of the crazy snow.

      Great freeride ski!
      Perfect for the mountains of Canada's West Coast.

      It's also very versatile, allowing you to cope with changing conditions.

      An excellent product.
      Made in Quebec. 🙂

      ...I've had racing skis under my feet since I was a kid. That's why I was afraid that powder and touring skis would be soft, flat to ski on groomed runs, and that I'd only enjoy them in a snowstorm. I was afraid of nothing with the Sig Sog Carbon. The Sig Sog Carbon are beasts. They can take short radius turns at high speed just as well as big turns at high speed...

      With this width, some might be reluctant, but I assure you, it's much more maneuverable than it looks (and even rather light, too!).

      After 2 full seasons on this ski (and it's my only ski), I've skied it in every possible condition. Obviously it excels in the terrain it's designed for, powder, but you'll also be able to "Carver" it on groomed terrain with a bit of speed!

      And what's more, it's made in Quebec.
